The Rise & Fall of Lucha Underground 

Nobody gives Lucha Underground the respect it deserves. Shit was amazing

Lucha Underground had the OG cinematic matches.

Lucha Underground is what got me back into wrestling. LU will always hold a special place in my heart.

No lie, I still hold out hope for a Lucha Underground Season 5

Lucha underground Rose so fast but fell so hard

I remember Mill Muertes was badass af

If MK had a wrestling sub division. I miss this show so badly

Damn I miss Lucha underground because they were doing something completely different from other Wrestling promotions. I'm really pissed that we didn't get season 5.

I really loved Lucha Underground, it introduced me to two of my current favorite wrestlers, Penta and Fenix and the whole of AAA, which I never watched. Aztec Warfare was one of the gimmick matches that tried to “reinvent the wheel” with battle royals and actually did it well, I’d love to see something similar pop up in another promotion.

I Remember that Ultima Lucha season 1 saw : the Rise of Penta El Zero m (Pentagon jr) as he took on Vamprio in one HELL of a Match that made Penta into a Bonified Star

The four years that Lucha Underground was around was one of the most fun times I ever had as a wrestling fan.

They use to have reruns of lucha underground on el rey network... how miss this

-The Rise & Fall of Evolve. -The Rise & Fall of CHIKARA. -The Rise & Fall of WWECW -The Rise & Fall of Decay. -The Rise & Fall of Rusev. -The Rise & Fall of Mike Bennett. -The Rise & Fall of Lio Rush in WWE. -The Rise & Fall of D'Angelo Dinero. -The Rise & Fall of Bobby Roode. -The Rise & Fall of David Starr. Pretty please.

Lucha Underground really hit different, also remember Dante Fox vs Killshot, where they literally tried to kill each other Edit: You can watch it on YT, just search it, but it is hard to watch at some points

I honestly loved this promotion and it's kinda sad they fell off, but they were ahead of the curve when it came to the production style

I loved Lucha Underground because it was 2 of my favorite things. Wrestling and soap opera. Chef Kisses all around.

"The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." So to was Lucha Underground.

I love Lucha Underground.... it's hard to find a show where all the matches are great

Please do the rise and fall of wrestling Society X

I remember when people thought Lucha underground was gonna end impact wrestling permanently oh it is to laugh

Lucha Underground matches, even 6 years later, are still freakin legit.

I would love to see lucha underground make a comeback

I hope WWE or AEW make a title like Gift of the Gods Championship because I like the idea of it.

They even had Wade Barrett in the final scene of season 4. Oh well.

He never gave a reason for the fall. Jack Swagger shouldn’t take down a company.

I love how story driven it was. Thats what bores me with WWE and AEW, stories aren't interesting to me. Just wrestling is boring.

Season 3 had the Mac vs Mundo World Title ALL NIGHT LONG 'the whole show was just one match which I think was a 45 min episode' I loved that match alot and also the atmosphere when you when from Puma winning his second World Title and the crowd cheers......enter Penta and the crowd turn sort of like a cult. Also Dario best GM in a while

Everytime I see the "This % doesn't sub" thing I purposefully don't

The first 2 seasons were good. The latter 2 seasons were meh to bad.

Lucha Underground brought me back into wrestling since the fall of WCW. It is woefully underrated.

LU was like a live action wrestling anime. I enjoyed it whenever I watched it, and it introduced me to Ricochet. I also enjoyed seeing guys like Chavo, Konnan, and Johnny Mundo (I grew up watching those guys) doing their thing as well.

Prince Puma in Lucha Underground: Great Ricochet in NXT: Great Ricochet in WWE: oh please god! Go to any other promotion. Vince has absolutely no clue what to do with a talent like you

That gift of the gods title looks way to gorgeous to be a "money in the bank" item. That title alone can completely trump some of the WWE titles we have right now

Lucha Underground is proof that it is the booking that is killing wrestling today, Lucha Underground made me care about Ezekiel Jackson as Big Rick

I was thinking about this recently.

Lucha Underground was incredible.

I’ve been looking for something like this. Lucha Underground was the definition of ahead of it’s time and in my opinion during its peak, it was the best show in wrestling. Better than NXT. Better than New Japan Pro Wrestling

dude lucha underground was honestly pretty badass wish they woulda treated the out sourced talent better

Lucha underground’s legacy will forever be giving Matt Hardy the idea for the broken universe. Because of that now we have 800 cinematic matches per year.

You can watch Lucha Underground for free on Tubi TV. Tubi TV is like Netflix but free. I believe all 4 seasons are on there. Season 1 and 2 are amazing.

I really wish LU Season 5 was made. They had a strong story going into it with Dario Cueto being resurrected and his dad Antonio alongside Vampiro, his new disciple Australian Suicide and LU Champion Jake Strong all joining up and taking orders from The Lord Stu Bennett. I assume that they were going for some sort of Civil War/Endgame storyline with Dario being a babyface with all the good guys like Aerostar, Son Of Havoc, maybe even a babyface Pentagon Jr. going up against Stu and the Aztec gods. It's a shame that never got made due the whole contract dispute brought up by King Cuerno (AKA NXT's Santos Escobar), Kobra Moon (AKA Thunder Rose), Ivelisse and a few others.

Lucha Underground was the best promotion ever! & I’ve been watching wrestling since the 80’s..I remember the promos & how I couldn’t wait to watch. It was the 1st time I saw Prince Puma, the Lucha Bros, Drago & Aerostar..some of the best! It’s a shame it only lasted 4 seasons..this is what wrestling’s all about & real wrestling fans know that..

Lucha underground is hard hitting and real!!!👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

Jeff Cobb’s run as Matanza was definitely his coming out party for the wider wrestling audience. He absolutely killed it and I’m glad to see all the success and good fortune that has come his way since then. Matanza’s debut is still one of my favorites ever.

Lucha Underground got me back in to wrestling, I’m glad I got to experience it live. Much respect ✊

Lucha Underground brought Mexican luchadores to the US and gave a 2nd opportunity to wrestlers that were forgotten. The problem with LU is that is was do good that most of the roster was tempted for bigger companies and sadly LU didn't grow enough money to keep them in the project. They did the mistake of ending it because who was Prince puma, Pentagon, Fenix, etc. Before LU? They came by storm to shine and behind them are a lots of great luchadores and wrestlers waiting for their opportunity. They should have brought new talent on every season so when a Luchador/Wrestler leaves the company they could have more people to fill that gap. Anyway, I really hope to see them back.

They went out of business when they put the title on Jake Hager and now AEW is pushing him as one of their biggest stars 😂😂😂

Son of havoc was my favorite wrestler. I though he was funny

John morison should have signed to roh instead of wwe

Show had so much promise!! Sad to see it go to waste then gone for good.

I'm binge watching this on tubi, on season 4 and was pretty good.

Great work on the video, and as someone who worked on the show from the beginning to the end, you basically nailed it all. The Jake Strong bit was not popular among most of us, but there were some politics involved there. All in all, it was a ton of fun and the vignettes were legendary. Nice job

Lucha Undergroud put the wresters of "triple a" on the international level. It was curious how the Mexican press handled it, because they interviewed Dorian Roldan and it was implied that Lucha Undergroud was "a new brand" of aaa. Dario appeared first in triplemania to "buy" wrestlers, although the program was not broadcast in Mexico.

The concept is unique they should adjust it financially. It has benefits since it is pre taped and wrestlers can rest well and plan and practice well with the fights and choreography.

Need a rise and fall of Wrestle Circus. Why does it leave a bad taste in talents and day one fans' mouths?

Dammit I wanted to be the 200,000th subscriber 😤😤 *goes to unsubscribe till then*

Someone should restart Lucha underground but as a live event non fantasy company. I think it would do better than AEW.

My favorite was Mil and it just seemed like after the second season they just didn't do much with him. I also think a lot of what her thin was because they didn't do anything outside that studio. I mean they could have easily done a small 30 city tour and working Auditorium some stuff the same size is that studio or a little bigger and probably would have packed it in and I think that would have also help them out financially. I really enjoyed Lucha Underground but I have to admit I never did finish season 4 because a lot of the shit got repetitive and it just seemed like there was handful or so of wrestlers that you kept seeing all the damn time when they had a pretty vast roster

The Gift of the gods is one of the best concepts ever in wrestling!

I really loved Lucha Underground.. I enjoyed the first 2 seasons.. I missed seasons 3 and 4 but I guess I didn't really miss much cause a lot of people said that those seasons were bad...

Season 4 had the Budget cut fiercely, hence the new Set and scaled back Roster. Some returned just to be killed off- no joke

Whatever happens I would still watch Lucha Underground over today’s WWE shows

It was Lucha Underground that got me back to wrestling over a year ago after a 10-year break so it will always have a special place but... That season exclusivity is a shit deal for anyone.

Congratulations on 200 man. Just hit 25k myself last night! Congrats man

The best match IMO was pentagon vs vampiro

Imagine if lucha underground returns and pull a aew and impact invasion but this time as moxley as the heel lucha underground champion vs heel omega aew and swan impact champion

Bro lucha underground was why i like wrestling and my childhood, first wrestling promotion I started watching back in 2014

Was the name of the music playing in the video

I have watched AAA, CMLL, WWE, AEW, ECW, Wrestling Society X and more and LU is definitely the best one by far. They had the perfect combination of wrestling - lucha libre and got rid of something that I have always hated which is making certain guys look bad or weak in order to make the others look strong. In LU everyone felt like a threat, sure you had the champions but every single guy was amazing and you actually couldn't really tell who was gonna win every match and that brings my next point which is expectation and surprise factor. You didn't know what to expect, who was gonna debut or gonna be forever gone, neither how the match would end so that eliminated the snooze fest from all the other promotions and also the characters, the were very unique, the attire designes were sick and the interactions were entertaining and finally and the most important thing the in ring action/performance the guys were extremely talented, their moves were insane, fast, high risk maneuvers and even a big guy like Matanza could actually move. To me the show was flawless.

I'm glad it's gone The first two seasons were good but the last one sucked When Jake Hager was your last champion that says it all

instagram.com/p/COgzQyzrbhv/?igshid=c4l599tpkk22 The Temple, lives again. El Jefe, rises once more. What was thought lost....is reborn!

Jon moxley in lucha underground will be badass and having a feud with monster matanza and darrio

Lucha Underground was a great concept but, too many hands in the cookie jar (It being on ElRay Network didn’t help they should’ve tried to get a deal with a secondary cable Company like WGN Chicago (The first two seasons are actually outstanding some of it was a little to out there but, there was a lot taken from Wrestling Society X) Season 3 was so/so Season 4 was a mess (You forgot to mention the Lucha Underground vs Impact live Twitch show) Which was very interesting this started a relationship between Triple A & Impact Wrestling (I wouldn’t say Lucha Underground is dead AEW is Lucha Underground 2.0 (but, with a clueless money mark booking the Company) There’s also sellers on Ebay selling Lucha Underground Blu-ray box set (yeah they are HD rips onto blu-rays but, it’s better then nothing (Been tempted to buy the set over the last couple of years) Great video

Lucha underground became Less Lucha towards the end. The cool Lucha Mexican high flyers grew extinct there. The high flying dangerous deadly moves took its toll, the pay wasnt worth it any more in LU.

Lucha should come back with new wrestlers every season. You vacate the title at the end of the season. That way you format the show as such. Previous champion if they return gets a title match next season in the first title card. Warfare match crowns number one contender to face previous champion. You sign wrestlers to a per season run. If they opt not to return you've built in the per season deal anyway. So they're free to go off. Have some language in there that Lucha has to know if you're signing somewhere else and they can then give a competitive option to sign you again for their next season. With new wrestlers every season signing and leaving you keep things fresh. You find who works best try to keep them but again always having that out each season makes for some interesting stories.

They have re-opened as Azteca Underground MLW.

Was in attendance for all the seasons of LU and from day 1 of season 4 did not like the feeling absolutely hated the new temple. They filmed the 4th season in 4 weekends so rushed.

Lucha underground is complete and free on tubi! You are all welcome! Didn't see anyone comment this!

The first 2 seasons were great but it wasn't the same after that and they eventually had to shut down due to running out of money but it was great while it lasted and I'll never forget it

Haven't been able to watch wrestling since it left. The product was just too much better.

I miss Lucha Underground every Wednesday night

Tbh lucha underground was fun to watch because the stories and matching was intresting to watch and let us be real females lucha wrestler is more better than wwe female stars

Man, actual gimmicks and characters. Good storylines. Great action! If only they had more of a budget and were on a bigger network.

Congratulations on your 200k subs 👏👏👏👏

First three were legendary. 4 went so far downhill

LU was this crazy brilliant cross between pro-wrestling and Mortal Kombat, and the match quality was unreal. Man I loved that show.

Lucha underground got me back into wrestling fucking loved that shit as a teen

This was fun, it brought something to pro wrestling. It made it feel real again. Like old-school TNA. That brought a lot of the guys from WCW and from WWE who got dissatisfied with how the WWE was handling them. Jeff Jarret, Christian, Sting, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Abyss, Sabu and even R Truth before he was R Truth in WWE was a title holder.

Lucha underground was amazing

Pentagon jr wsd the reason i watched lucha underground when i was 9

I loved watching this when it was on Netflix years ago

I have to say this is one of your weaker videos. But in the way Lucha underground was a whole lot to unpack so I can’t understand. That being said, totally agree on season four! Easily the worst season! The first two seasons were excellent! The third season was a mixed bag but Ultima Lucia made up for it at the end in my opinion! The fourth season was just weak all around!

Congratulations for your 200K Subs 👏👏

The wrestling company that could have been

LU was awesome. It just feels different from all the flips and kicks that is currently on AEW. I miss LU.

I was able to meet Fénix, real cool guy

L.U. was the last time wrestling was exciting for me to watch. It was unique and this old dog definitely felt it had some awesome ideas to offer.

No insight to anything we didnt already know. This is just a recap you can read yourself in wikipedia.

Ricochet and Morrison put this show on the map
